1 original regulator is on the fuel rail

2 the return to tank pipe

this is on the 1.2 16v block pics would be gud

 

[theduck]

dont fit it yourself, pay somewhere with a rolling road to do it for £50

 

[ben_p]

yer i know, should get it fittied n all, n tuned on the rr, but the local ones are w**kers n cnt get to minispeed for a month, n i wnt it on now now now lol

the fuel pressure regulator on most clio,s is on the bottom of the fuel tank sender unit / fuel pump situated in the tank. To find out which is the return undo the pipes on top of the unit and turn your ignition on & off quickly - which ever pipe shoots fuel out in the direction of the sender unit is your return. Please bare in mind most sender units differ and some dont even have a return

 

[ben_p]

rite, so under the tank we think then

 

[MATT BLACK]

Like i say it can differ - check your fuel rail and look out for a black or bronze circular mechanism on the rail itself.

just wait to get it put on and tuned, youll be happier with it then

 

[MATT BLACK]

and its not under the tank its in it - back seat up gives you access to a black circular grommet - lift this up and unscrew the big plastic ring - the fuel tank sender unit / pump is situated in here.

j3ned u the man lol,, ill have a go in a bit,, any other info would be gud

 

[16v_jon]

There is no return on a 1.2 16v the fse valve wont fit

 

[ben_p]

kk ive just bought the valve to fit mien that 100%?

 

[ben_p]

2001....spoke to fse just n they recon there is one on the pre 03 models

 

[16v_jon]

yeah the 1.2 16v has 2 lines one is the fuel supply to the rail the other is the gas line that passes through the charcoal canister. ive seen one other 1.2 16v with a return line but it was an old one, best way to check if you have a return is look under the car from the drivers side before the exhaust there will be some black lines either 2 or 3 they are your fuel lines. most other clios have a return but the 1.2 16v doesnt. as j3ned said the regulator is in the tank.

 

[16v_jon]

ring nick hill as he fits an "uprated" pressure regulator to the 1.2 16v to stop them running lean ask him what he does.

 

[ben_p]

nick hill, lol mien is the phase 1 engne pre june, mrk2 phase1, ill have a look now at the lines, bare wit me

 

[ben_p]

sh*t...got 2 lines..............?

 

[16v_jon]

It wont fit then some clios even 1.2 8v have a return but yours doesnt the 01 onwards 172 doesnt have a return either so therefore no power boost valve for it .
